What is Ascend Health and Wellness?
Ascend Health and Wellness is a medical practice in Mooresville, North Carolina, with a second location in South Carolina. It does not publish a street address for the South Carolina office. Its main services are hormone therapy and medical weight loss. It also offers peptide therapy, fertility care, training plans and preventive medicine. The practice describes its medical services as physician led. Care is led by Brandon Valent, MS, PA C, who has over ten years of experience in emergency medicine, psychiatry, weight loss and hormone therapy.
For weight loss, the practice names three medications: liraglutide, semaglutide and tirzepatide. On choosing among them, it says: "We review options based on your goals, history, and safety."
It serves patients across North Carolina and South Carolina, including the Lake Norman and Charlotte areas. On Google, it has a rating of 5 from 112 reviews.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. The one figure it gives is a $99 deposit to join its new patient waitlist, which it describes as reserving your place for a consultation. It does not say whether that deposit is credited toward anything, whether it is refundable, or what a consultation costs. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, or whether any price includes medication. Spots are now limited, so ask for the full cost in writing before paying anything beyond the deposit.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes your prescription and whether a physician reviews it. Care is led by a PA, and the practice calls its services physician led, so the answer matters. Ask whether any quoted price includes the medication, and whether the drug is brand-name or compounded, which it does not say. Ask what labs, follow-up visits and dose changes cost after the first visit.
Ask whether telehealth visits are offered, since none is mentioned, and what the office hours are, since none are listed. Ask which location your visit would be at and who would see you there. Ask whether the $99 deposit is credited toward your visit and whether it can be refunded if you decide not to go ahead. Finally, ask how to cancel and how much notice is required. You can put these questions to the office at (980) 250 0738.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want medically supervised weight loss or hormone care near Mooresville or the Lake Norman area, you expect to pay out of pocket, and you are willing to get the price, prescriber and medication answers in writing before you commit. If you need a published price, insurance billing or posted hours before you book, call first and wait until you have them.
